Surely some of you have seen this by now

"That may seem a bit harsh, but it’s hard to argue. Why? Read on, won’t you? UAB seemed to give Arizona every chance possible to come back and take the game last night in Tucson. UAB missed, free throws included, seven of its last nine shots, and blew an 11-point lead with 8:30 remaining. Then, with the score 71-69 after Arizona’s Garland Junkins missed a free throw, Arizona’s Kyle Fogg scrapped up the loose ball and put it in the hoop, tying the game at 71 with :30 seconds remaining. Fogg, not thinking because he was probably told in the timeout before the free throw to foul by the coaches (thinking they’d be down by one or two after the free throw), fouled UAB’s Aaron Johnson. OK … honest mistake. You should know the situation, but it’s an honest mistake. You get the rebound and you score. Your emotions get the best of you and you instinctively foul. I get it. But the title of this post is not about Fogg; it’s about Jamelle Horne. Keep reading. So Johnson misses his one-and-one attempt. Jordan Hill grabs the rebound. Arizona calls timeout, sets up a play, and puts it in the hands of Nic Wise. Wise’s shot clanks off the rim with about three seconds to go and UAB’s Paul Delaney (the THIRD) gets the rebound. That’s when Jamelle Horne completely forgets how to play the game of basketball, ignores the fact that the game is tied at 71 and lunges for Delaney III, causing the refs to call an intention foul on Horne, giving UAB two shots and the ball. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. Horne was completley unaware of the situation DESPITE THE FACT FOGG HAD MADE THE SAME DUMB ERROR ON THE PREVIOUS POSSESSION. Delaney III hit the first freebie, missed the second. But it didn’t matter because UAB got the ball back, passed it inbounds and the game was over. UAB 72, Arizona 71 . Let the disappointment in Tucson begin, and what a way to usher in what could be a rough, long season. (It should be mentioned that UAB was absolutely giving this game away.) There is still plenty of talent on this Arizona team, and if it cannot make a difference in a rebuilding Pac-10, what a disappointment — even with new coach Russ Pennell — it will be. Jordan Hill, by the way, could be in for a monster year. Hill had 22 rebounds last night and was a huge catalyst in the comeback."

I was dumbfounded at that series of events. Not only did it happen once but twice.

What are the academic requirements to get into Arizona?

That shit was rigged

11/19/2008 5:13:03 PM

ahahah

i thought it was about the first foul (i watched before reading)

then i saw the second one Lawl

11/19/2008 5:13:44 PM

i thought it was about the first foul as well and was like.. well thats not the worst foul ever... but the last one was pretty retarded... there really is no reason to foul someone when they're throwing a 3/4 length shot as time expires

11/19/2008 5:16:18 PM

especially when the game is TIED

11/19/2008 5:16:45 PM

i hope m2c sees this thread

11/19/2008 5:17:47 PM

It reminds me of Manny cutting off that Johnny Damn throw to allow the inside the park homer in terms of relative Downs-ness

11/19/2008 5:25:21 PM

alright, so after I read the description I figured homey was just going for a steal or it was a ticky-tack foul.

Then I watched the video. He dove at the guy like a punter trying to save a TD.

11/19/2008 5:36:40 PM

haha I bet m2c is pissed.

11/19/2008 5:50:21 PM

How low are arizona's admission standards.

I think I will screen print the :carl face: on a t-shirt and send it to Tucson.

11/19/2008 6:36:48 PM

Best part was the kid's reason for fouling.

He said he was preventing an easy bucket. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Priceless.

11/19/2008 7:02:46 PM

i was watching this live last night and about threw my beer through the TV, easily the dumbest foul I've seen in quite some time

11/19/2008 7:06:24 PM

haha horne was also the guy who grabbed fogg to yell at him after fogg fouled

11/19/2008 8:29:12 PM

This was worse than Dan Orlovsky's safety....

11/20/2008 2:04:05 AM

Kevin O'Neil is still laughing hysterically about this

11/20/2008 6:04:45 AM

i did that in high school

I was shooting 2 foul shots and looked at the scoreboard after I had made the first one, which tied the game, but the scorers table had not put it up yet so I thought we were down by one point still with 2 seconds left... So I ended up missing the second shot and fouled the rebounder who threw the ball at the other hoop at the end of the court.

They gave him 3 foul shots with zero seconds left on the clock. He needed to make just one to win the game. He airballed the first, bricked the 2nd, and then rattled in the 3rd for the win.

Whoooops.

lol what an idiot

11/20/2008 5:20:34 PM

wow, what a dumbass

by the way, UAB should be livid at the scorer's table for buzzing the horn while the shooter had the ball on the first 1 and 1. its absolutely rediculous to buzz the horn while he had the ball
